The Verve- Bittersweet Symphony

I think that this song is about 2 things really. The first thing is about mans obsession with money. The line 'you're a slave to money then you die' suggests that life revolves around money as that is what decides how well off you are and what you can get with it. We have jobs to get money don't we? We aim to get as much as we can. The second thing that this song is about is the fact that we can't change who we are, but people can influence. The line 'cos i'm a million different people from one day to the next' sums up that we are heavily influenced by people around us and pick up some of their traits via learning. He 'can't change my mold' which means that can't change what he has been moulded into. This song may be from the 90's but it's a classic in my opinion.
